Etrian Odyssey / Drinking Game

Please note that we do not condone drinking while out in the labyrinths. There's a local pub in every game for that.

General / Unsorted

Take a drink every time you realize you've drawn part of the map incorrectly.
- Take another drink if this mistake causes you to get stuck (e.g. drawing a wall where a passage should have been)

Character customization:
- Take a drink every time you make a character based on an existing character.

- In voiced games, take a drink if you make a character with a "Sultry" voice.
  - If you are playing in public with the volume up and no headphones on and said charcter then speaks one of their more raunchy lines^note, finish your drink out of embarrassment.
  - (Nexus) Take a drink if you slap the Sultry voice onto a character with a Beast portrait.
- Take a drink if a character with a "Sassy" voice complains about being healed^note"I didn't ask for this!".

- (Nexus) Take a drink every time you pick a portrait that doesn't quite match the character's class, but looks like it could still fit the role (Fencer portrait for a Landsknecht^noteBoth use heavy armor and swords or Bushi portrait for a Ronin^noteBoth use katanas, for example). Take two drinks if the mismatch is obvious (such as an Arcanist^note portrait for a Pugilist^notefist-oriented physical brawler).
Finish your drink if a Total Party Kill happens for any reason.
- If you party wipe in a postgame stratum, take a drink instead. It's going to happen a lot.

Take a sip for each round spent with a failed attempt to retreat.
- If you're playing the first three games, drink again if you notice you can't retreat because you've backed yourself up against a wall.
Take a drink if you fail to get a conditional drop. Two drinks if it was from an FOE or boss.
- Finish your drink and throw the empty container in frustration if it was due to the enemy being killed by a chase or counter attack.

- Take a drink every time accepting a field event leads to an enemy encounter.
  - Take two if it's an ambush.

  - Take two if it moves faster than you can.
- Take a drink every time you realize you're trapped by an FOE. And another if you don't have a way to bail out (Ariadne Thread, an Escape Battle Technique, etc.)
  - Take an additional drink if you're stuck in such a way that you would be able to avoid the FOE if you could just let time pass without moving (but you can't, since time only moves when you move).^noteKnown as a zugzwang in chess jargon
